Here at Brooks, we love running – and so does Tash from Earth Runs. Like all good ideas, Earth Runs came to her on a run one day. Instead of getting throwaway medals and t-shirts at the end of races, wouldn’t it be better to do something meaningful that supported the planet and make a difference with our runs?

So, she set up Earth Runs. It’s a simple concept: trees are planted for every challenge. To date, they’ve planted over 48,000 trees and hosted over 150 virtual races and that is making a big impact on our planet. Each tree will grow to support over 300 animals, birds and reptiles and create enough oxygen to support two humans for a year!
